1995 NBA All-Star Game

Charles Barkley was the main host of the event. During a break in the game near the fourth quarter he even wanted to shoot himself out of a catapult, but his coach made sure he didn't do it because he did not want his star player to get injured. Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons was the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in votes for this year's All-Star game. Hakeem Olajuwon led the Western Conference voting. Cedric Ceballos was selected as a reserve, but did not play due to being injured beforehand by Dikembe Mutombo in a regular season game. Mutombo replaced Ceballos. Brian Hill, head coach of the Eastern Conference leader Orlando Magic, coached the Eastern All-Stars. Paul Westphal, head coach of the Western Conference leader and game host Phoenix Suns, coached the Western All-Stars. ==Roster==
